Trade Restrictions and...WANTS.
In case you're wondering what's up with the picture, that is admittedly me (albeit a blurry me) in the forefront in a picture taken from an October '97 episode of the USA Network's WWF Monday Night RAW. But I swear I'm not a neanderthal lowbrow (I've since dropped the wrestling obsession). I currently am a journalist in Kansas, but I am and will be sure to leave time to trade, even now that I have a job. But you didn't come here for that information, you came here for my rules and my wants. So here they are...
My Rules...
Of course, no high speed dubbing or Dolby NR on tapes.
Use high-quality tapes and CDs. Maxell XLII's (90-110 min.) are preferred in audio, but not required. I like TDK or Sony cd-rs, but, again, they're not required. In videos, please use Maxell, TDK or Sony tapes of good quality.
Important one: SEND ON TIME. When we set a date to mail the tapes, MAIL ON THAT DAY. Please. Or at least let me know as soon as you can.
Don't cut songs between sides on taps and, please, no filler unless we discuss it first.
I prefer cases and j-cards with my tapes. You can request your tapes however you want.
Another obvious one: Send setlists and all important information about the recording.
Last but not least: Don't screw me over. I'm trustworthy and expect you to be too.
NOW, on to my favorite part: my wants...

**most anything else...I have very eclectic tastes, so try whatever you've got (except for Michael Bolton, Def Leppard, Winger, Nelson, Rush or other such instruments of torture). Thanks... Any offers will be appreciated and will at least (hopefully) receive a reply, if not a trade.
